Q Myinv'erition relates to a stamping'appa: ratus in which paper, cardboard, leather or 'other 'fairly soft material is provided with 1 numbers, letters ornamentations etc; by have gj ng them: impressed therein; V

The apparatus exerts; with the aidi'o' f the stamp? 'lnatrigr a rapid-and high pressure which enables glazed: paper, metal foil, bronze paper or-coating of other suitable material '10; interposed between'the die and the piece to t be stamped, to be at the same timepressed into thelatter so that this'coating holds fast I withoutiany'special'binding means. To this, 1

end, the dies areprovided with sharp edges llijwhich cut the number or the lettersof Ornaa mentation out of the coating material "and at thesametime so press'the cut edges into 'thesharplycut outlines "of the-number or letterthat the coating The apparatus is characterised its great.

simplicity resulting in economy and providing the possibility of working rapidly, oh-

' 'viati'ng repairs, increasing the. durably cer ,taingvworkingcapacity etc. a

" The essential feature of the apparatus is V the co operation of the stamping mechanism 'with"the'die carrier andpiece to be stamped l in such a manner that by the. movement of the stamping mechanism" the-"other parts are automatically brought into the operative positionand aftercompletion of the stamping "operation automatically return to the posit-ionin whichthelnext piece to bestamped is substitutedfor the stampedpiece.

The apparatus is principally-suitable for use in placeswhere' such stamped 'goods'are directly'needed'for example'in businesses in which the marking of goods as well as their prices constantly change andv consequently I such notices or display pieces must always heprepared afresh;

A furtheradvantage of the invention may 7 be seen in the-fact that'the attention required by the 'appa'ratusis' so simple that unskilled person's canmanage it atoncefll g L J In thedrawin sn f I Figure-1 is "a -side viewv of the apparatus inthe position for introducing the type and so the pieces' to be 'imp therewith? adheres without fur-' Figure 2 is a plan Corresponding to ,Fig-

Figure 6'is a section through the die and and I Figure 7 shows a further'exaniple' of the A base plate a carries thebearing blocks 7) in whichanfeccentrically lying roller d is rotatably mountedby means of journals 0.

o this roller thereis fixed a lever e which advantageously consists o'f'a'number of parts that can-be screwedtogether and in itsposition' of rest as shown in "the drawings lies upon abracket 7. Between the bearing blocks there is arranged a stamping bar 9 which isjournalled by journals h in slots '5 in -the bearing blocks and rests onsprings 74 Which constantly press the stamping bar against the eccentric roller (1." p I Connected with the motive mechanism e; g, the hand lever e means of a ring] is a cord m which passes over pulley into the recessed portion of the base plate aand is connected by a compensating spring 0 with .a guide piece- 79 which is in turn attached to the base plate by springs Guide pins 7",

which are movable in slots s inthebase plate a, connectthe guide piece 39 with a slide tthat rests on the base plate a andis longitudinally movable thereon and is guidedbetween the bearing blocks by r 'On moving the lever aim the direction ot the arrow the cord mrmoves the compensating spring 0' andthe guide piece p, as; well ,as the slide t by means of'the guide pins 1",

towards the stamping bar p V The guide pins'r protrude beyond the slide '2? and carry on springs .2 a frame win the opening a: of which the die 1 is inserted. The

guide pins? serve also at the sametime with theaid of the springs z to keep the frame w raised in its positionof ISt,'tl1HS facilitat 7 60 I the piece: to be stamped on an enlarged scale,

ing the insertion of the die as well as the substitution of the cardboard or other piece that has been stamped by another. Nuts it serve for adjusting the position of the rear portion of the frame w, the front portion of which is offset and attached to the slide t by a pin 1).

The operation to the apparatus is as 01- I lows The drawings show the position in which the dies 3 are inserted into the slots m and the pieces to'be stamped can be placed in the proper position beneath the dies. Since the apparatus is so simple, there will usually be no special guiding frames or the like for introducing the pieces to be stamped; naturally, however, means may be providedas desired, for adjusting the dies in the slot as and/or for fixing and adjusting the objectsto be stamped on the slide. Generally, however, it will suffice .to work by the eyerwithout'any special expedient.

If now the hand lever e is turnedin the direction of the arrow, the cord m pulls the slide t together with the frame 10 beneaththe stamping ban Up tothat point aconoentric circular part of the roller d moves on the stamping bar so that the latter is itselfinot pressed downwardly until the parts to be stamped have arrived entirely beneath the bar. Thewspring z keeps the frame -'w constantlyinthe raised position, so that on insetting diesy, andpieces to be stamped the dies 31 cannot be shifted because they do not come into contact with the pieces to. be stamped. When the slide has arrived .at its end position so that thedieslie directly beheath the stamping bar 9, the eccentric pressure ins and enables a rapid'and sharp impression by the die to be effected: For this purpose,.the hand lever e 'is brought into the position in which it forms the straight continuation of the position. shown in-thedrawings the tension springs g can draw theslide t back with the aid'of the guidepiece 2 so that the insertion of the piece to be stamped,

the change. of the dies, etc, can now be effected.

The dies 3 are so formed that the letters, numbers, or ornamentations are outlined by sharp edges 2. Ha glaze-d paper 3 or the like, as may be seen in Figure 6, isinterposed between the cardboard 4, etc, .to be stamped and the die y, the sharp edges 2 cut the figure out of the paper and press'it into the sharp indentationaso that on the stampedpart the piece of paper 3 adheres with its glazed surface, since its edges are forced into the stamped edges'fi, without the necessity of any adhesive substance or the like for fixing it.

In order that the pieces to be stamped should not be disturbed by the stamping-bar g on introducing. the dies thereunder, the lateral arms 7 of the frame w are provided with lugs 8 which depressthe frame somewhat on eccentric rellerd by the handlewer e by means of levers 12 fixed to the eccentric journal and by "tension cords acting against springs 14 and are moved back by the springs 14 on "bringing back the lever e. an Sincethe frame .10 onv which the dies rest is curved, it is moved b the-stmmping bu, positron on the return of thesT B, into the.

shown in the drawings in. full lines; in; this position the dies canbeinserted and the pieces, to be stamped laidin. On movingflieslide 11 towards the stampin .bar the-eurvedportion of the frame lOisf fromthestan'zping bar and brings the .die andthe underly' piece to be stamped into contact with ,eii d mo other only when these rts have been brought entirely beneath t e stamping bar.
